- The patient is aged 12 or older and has focal epilepsy that has not responded to medication
- The patient has already had a standard pre-surgical assessment, including medical history, a scalp video-EEG recording, and a 3T MRI brain scan
- A type of brain mapping procedure called SEEG (stereo-EEG) has already been recommended for the patient as part of their pre-surgical evaluation
